Margery Kempte seems to be quite the woman. She is very interesting and the way she writes in third person makes the book that much more interesting. It is written by her and she calls herself “the creature”. It strange how she refers to herself in this way, but I guess we are all creatures. Oh well, her life on the other hand is quite the interesting. She started off admitting how much sin she committed and then suddenly flipped a switch and became some virtuous woman. It makes me think how could she just one day up and decide that everything is going to be different. Obviously everyone that she knew and lived with felt the same way. What was going on with this woman that made her so different all of a sudden? I don’t think I would have been able to deal with it as her friend either, but I might have been able to deal with it better than her husband. I mean come on the woman tells you that she doesn’t want to sleep with you anymore and she wants to live this virtuous life and all he could do is complain that he wasn’t getting anymore. Well at least she was able to pray to God and she didn’t have to sleep with him because he was being a little baby and couldn’t get over himself. She was a pretty tough woman it seems that her life definitely had its obstacles, but what life doesn’t .
